Museum Archive: Vintage Seneca Little Cleo (Hula Girl), 1/3oz Gold fishing spoon #5594

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the hammered gold surface of this specimen features the iconic dancer engraving synonymous with early Seneca production. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this Little Cleo (Hula Girl) carries product code 5594 and represents the pre-1980s era before the brand was acquired by Acme. Many veteran anglers maintain that the presence of the Hula Girl dancer is essential for the lure's success, a feature that was later discontinued in modern versions. The gold finish is deeply textured to catch light during casting or trolling. It remains in excellent shape with a condition rating of 5/5. The lure is equipped with a clean treble hook attached by a split ring and a precision-drilled line tie at the head.
